When three hundred people simply vanish from a research facility in Limetown, seventeen-year-old Lia Haddock discovers that her uncle, Emile Haddock, is among the missing and her parents refuse to discuss what might have happened. As a student journalist, Lia begins an investigation that will take her far from her home, discovering clues about Emile's past that lead to a shocking secret -- one with unimaginable implications not only for the people of Limetown, but for Lia and her family. The only problem is...she's not the only one looking for answers.

Eskild reviewed Limetown by Zack Akers

An okay prequel

3 stars

I'm somewhat torn on Limetown. It never manages to reach the heights of the podcast, in particular its first season, but it does provide some very interesting backstory. Its main problem is that it spends a lot of time on uninteresting bits of backstory, interpersonal drama, which wasn't what I was looking for. There are also the odd inconsistency here and there, and the ending is rather odd, and doesn't perfectly line up with the podcast, and kind of leaves more new questions unanswered.

Even if you've listened to the podcast (you should), this is not in any way a must-read. If you really want to know more of the story, then it's decent enough.
